Nuntius128 08-10-04, 12:36 PM	I'm pretty sure that's a misprint. It says in the feat description that if you possess any magic items whatsoever, you lose all benefits of the feat. Yes, you could certainly own Bracers of Armor and assorted rings, but you wouldn't have all the neat stuff vow of poverty grants you.
Nuntius128 08-10-04, 12:40 PM	Scratch what I said. It isn't a misprint. Like I said, as an Apostle of Peace, you can have rings/etc, but that does still mean you lose the effects of VoP. Apostle's of Peace are not forbidden from such items, as it says. But Vow of Poverty's effect still remains, until you have them. Essentially, you have the choice: Bracers of Armor and 2 rings of your choice, or freebie feats, ability scores, AC, saves, etc?

Because of the Vow of Poverty, the apostle of peace does not get to wear armor. Please disregard the statement to the contrary." Thanks!
